Heres the curly hair girl design and shes proper sweet. Big round face, soft blush cheeks, big dark eyes with a tiny white highlight. The hair is the star of the whole piece. Bouncy round curls layered on layered, each curl drawn as its own little circle satin stitch so the texture reads even from across the room.
Skin tone is a warm caramel which i picked specifically because it works beautifully across most fabric colours, its got that universal storybook-doll vibe. Pink dress on the body, with a soft scoop neckline and a tiny ribbon detail. Tiny pink mouth in a sweet smile. Honestly shes the kind of design that lands on a baby blanket and the new mum just goes oh.
I get messages from grandparents about this design alot, especially around christmas and easter when theyre making personalised gifts for granddaughters. One nan wrote me last december after stitching the seven-inch on a fleece throw, she said her granddaughter slept with it every night for two weeks straight. That kinda feedback hits different.
Stitch on plain fabric, the curl detail needs space to read. Cream, soft white, sage, dusty pink, light grey or pale yellow all work brilliantly. Skip dark fabrics here, the caramel skin tone gets muddy on navy or black. Pop her on a tee with a name embroidered underneath for a personalised gift, i do this alot for baby showers.
Stitch density climbs hard on the largest hoop. the largest 7 hits 62k stitches with 14 colour changes and the hair area packs the most because each curl has its own satin column. Use heavy cutaway stabiliser on tees, baby fleece or terry. Tear-away on canvas tote is fine. Hoop firm, those curl stacks are unforgiving if the fabric drifts. Drop me a note if a curl satin pulls during your stitch test, i can rebalance the density and resend.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
